I mean, I'm basically just a collector hoarding stuff on my Hard Drive... I probably don't even listen to 95% of it😬

I've got maybe a couple of gigs sitting there, and like 80% of it is just waiting to be burned onto CDs. I actually listen to maybe 800 MB at most...

To put it simply: you're getting screwed in the background 😬

Anyway... I was actually wondering if anyone else (since it seems like NOBODY 😁) is running the latest Sun Microsystems Java paired with XP SP2? I'm curious if you're seeing those same weird crashes on Java-heavy sites...

I'm still on 1.4.2_04. Honestly, I can't be bothered to download 05, especially since I really only need Java for Azureus anyway... 😍

Nothing's working, though. Just tried testing things out on Firefox via chat...

melloweagle26 said:I did a clean install too, just slipstreamed SP2 onto the original XP CD... that's about it.

Same here.
I’m not actually having any major issues. In fact, quite a few programs feel noticeably snappier than before.

But there's this one weird thing. Ever since I installed XP with SP2, every time I minimize Nero, my "normal select" pointer turns into a "move" pointer and stays stuck like that until I manually change the pointer scheme... 😁

Why? Windows, man... 😬

As long as those amateurs at Microsoft don't realize they shouldn't bake the browser so deeply into the OS, they'll never make a decent one.

I’ve been using Netscape since forever, but lately I've switched over to Chrome...

Honestly... the new Windows XP SP2 seems to be making some real moves toward better security... it gives me hope that you can actually browse on Windows without worrying about someone wrecking your PC.

The real question is: who's actually going to stick with Edge once they see what the competition is doing? 😁

stormycyclist13 said:So, what's the deal with everyone ditching Edge for Chrome? It seems like everyone is making the switch all at once...

That's just talk... some people are out here complaining that Edge is full of holes, that it doesn't even have tabs... saying it's just broken and all that... honestly... 😬 😁

I haven't touched Edge in over six years... 👍

swiftscout8 said:Oh yeah, I tried using Chrome on Windows, and WordPress.com just isn't working right!!! The homepage looks fine, but once you get into the editor, everything is a complete mess.

If it’s glitching like that, it might just be a sign that some amateur built the whole site... 😁

Jacob Johnson70 said:Hey everyone, I have two more questions:
1. Where does Mozilla store its cookies (Windows 2000/XP)?
2. How can I get access to newsgroups?

It should be right here: C:\Documents and Settings\[Username]\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\[User Profile]\cookies.txt

But honestly, why bother hunting down the directory if you already have full control over the cookies themselves?

You can pretty much manage them however you want through the privacy settings...

2. What do you mean by that? Well, it really depends on which ISP you're using, to start with.

Larry Castillo66 said:That’s just heresy. Nothing runs faster than Opera. 😁

Yeah... I mean... I'm just not so sure about Unix... 😛

And I guess I'll find out today.... thanks for the reply, btw 👍

I haven't tested it with the Mozilla browser myself, but if it works on Chrome, it'll likely work on Mozilla too...

Just download the latest version. 😁

swiftscout8 said:What? Like I actually wrote three posts using Internet Explorer? 😕

Lately, I just can't make sense of these spikes... 😕

I don't get it either, since everything is running perfectly fine in Chrome 😁

swiftscout8 said:The issue is simple: Blogspot isn't working on Mozilla. Just head over to the subforum and check out the screenshots I uploaded there. 😉

And maybe we should swing by your blog too, just to be absolutely sure... right? 😁

driftingnomad68 said:Oh man, you caught me... my bad.

I REALLY am 😁

That's what everyone keeps saying... 😁

Just a textbook case of ignoring the facts... 😬

Joe said:Does anyone know if Opera has this setting?
open in background page ???
I couldn't find it in Mozilla...😢
And how do I set an icon for the New Tab on the Navigation toolbar?😕

Well, if you check the settings for the Tab Browser extension, you'll find every single crazy option imaginable... of course there's a way to choose where the tab opens...🙏

driftingnomad68 said:Alright, what is going on here? I just installed Chrome and the screen keeps "flickering" constantly...🙄 🙄

Am I losing my mind or what?

You're definitely losing it...😁

Nothing much... just play around, there are tons of options 🙂 👍

Joe said:How do I move my tabs to the bottom?😕

I honestly recommend grabbing the "Tab Browser" extension...

It’s a game changer... you can customize just about everything you can imagine regarding your tabs...

The link is http://white.sakura.ne.jp/~piro/xul/...nsions.html.en

If you want to install it right away, just click HERE (217 KB)
Once it's installed, restart Chrome, go to Tools -> Extensions, find the settings for Tab Browser, and tweak it however you like...🙂

driftingnomad68 said:I’m not really feeling it. If I didn't have Opera, then maybe... if it actually opened multiple pages in one window, I might consider it. 🙂

But honestly, which browser out there isn't just some imitation or shell for Internet Explorer? Nothing actually moves past IE...

Tsk tsk tsk... oh man, driftingnomad68, you have no idea what you're missing.

You've bitten the Opera bug and there's no turning back now... such a shame, especially since Chrome totally crushes Opera. 😢

Nothing surprising here, the best browser is absolutely crushing the competition right now...

Chrome, just Chrome.

I'm not really interested in other browsers like Edge or Safari... 🙂
